Helped us get special education funding

Peter served my family on two occasions to secure funding for private special education. It is a long and uncertain process, but he was up-front that it would be. In the end we got as good a deal as I think we could expect. Peter knows the process very well, gives good advice and moves things alon...g as well as anyone. Furthermore, Peter was helpful in resolving some differences of opinion between me and my ex wife that threatened to derail the process. He is knowledgeable, honest, and fair.

  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
